Hi AA,

Wishing you a quick recovery mate and your back in the water soon.

Rich

Ohhh,AA,WTF,mate you are having some serious issues of late I hope you are on the mend soon brother.

Thanks Guys! Appreciate the support! The smiles coming back
Yep dislocated shoulder was exactly 2 years ago at Pambula. I was indestructible until then. A few drama's since. Guess its a message to tone it back a bit.
When I think how hard and fast we ride our bikes around here and many grinders we have pulled into over the years it is hard to fathom how much carnage just surfing a SUP can wreak!
TeaTree, is was the 9" DC Dolphin fin that somehow got swapped into our PSH demo. It works well as a single but not needed in the tri setup that I had.
I reckon I may have come off better off with the shorter 7.5" fin with a flexier tip.
Who knows. **** happens!

The wonders of modern medicine! All stitched up ready to hobble!

Hey Andrew,

They did a remarkable job putting you back together. Man I've seen some horrendous injuries from SUP in such a short space of time

It must be just throbbing when you stand up I'd imagine.

Mend quick and take it easy.

AA, since you've got ya feet up for a while should we expect some threads ?
You can even pop into the Greenroom and have a chat. We talk off subject all the time. Perhaps we could discuss Manly's semi finals campaign.

Scotty come down for a Coldy this Saturday at the shop mate - drinks with Kai and crew. Shoot some s$%^. I will be there crutches, drain and all mate!

Lacey mentioned it was 9" DC Dolphin fin. He could tell from the wound and entry.
Fark he knows his fins.

that is why i've just bought this 9" flexible and soft edged fin to experiment with. i've only tried it in tiny waves once but they were similar to the ones when the gash happened, and the board sizes were similar. the fin seemed to work fine and as soon as this crap adelaide change passes through i'll be testing it a lot more

My 8 year old daughter is a very good surfer at her age-I make her use those fins on her boards. Work a treat-nose guards too.

jesus AA you are your own worst enemy. Get better quickly

spencer

Good on you AA - I hope your recovery & Physio is completely successful mate and that you can get back out there as soon as possible , take it easy !

Regards - Pup

Holy Cr@@@p Andrew that's horrific. Looks like they did an excellent job of patching you up though.

All the best mate - I hope you heal fast and get back out there soon.

Bill

Feck that is way worse than the first one

See you at the Mambo Carona for a few recuperative ales

All the best mate

It is heavy for sure Dan and hopefully it makes us all think twice before we hit the water again. Get the sand paper out and check the back of your fins.
I couldn't believe it when i actually had the culprit in my hand - ridiculously sharp and totally unnecessary.
PS: Still not as heavy as your smash up mate
